Beyond recognising the contributions of these trailblazers, the event also serves a vital philanthropic purpose, raising significant funds for charitable causes.
By shining a spotlight on women’s leadership and accomplishments, the awards inspire change and action, while the charitable donations generated help support organisations that empower women, uplift communities, and provide much-needed resources to those in need.
Over the years Women of the Year has proudly supported numerous charities across the UK. So far we have donated just under £600,000 to charity!
In October 2023, £13,000 was raised to support the incredible work undertaken by The King’s Trust: Women Supporting Women.
The King’s Trust is a youth charity giving young people from 11-30 years old the confidence and skills they need to thrive in education, work and in life.
The Women Supporting Women initiative is a passionate group of supporters who are committed to changing the lives of young women helped across The Trust’s programmes. Some of these young women may have grown up in extremely challenging circumstances with issues ranging from abuse, addiction, bullying and homelessness.
These early life experiences can often have a detrimental effect on young women and their self-belief. The WSW initiative aims to help these young women succeed at school, secure jobs, create businesses and most of all, gain confidence to flourish in life.
